Santa's Little Helper

Mornin'!

Sure it's a Monday. And sure, I've got work to go to today but it's also my birthday so I plan on having some fun too. I'm not exactly sure what that will be yet, I guess part of it depends on how much snow we get today. Hopefully the white stuff will hold off so I can go out and enjoy a bit of a celebration! ;)

So Saturday was a very good mail day for me... I received a couple of orders that I had placed that had some wonderful new Christmas goodies I've been anxious to get my hands on. One of those was the Holiday Style 8x8 pad from October Afternoon... LOVE it! I couldn't resist diving in and putting it to use on a card right away. Luckily I also got this new Kraftin' Kimmie cutie, Shoppin' Sarah, who I thought would make for a fun Christmas shopping kind of card. I did some super simple altering by drawing in lines across her calves to turn her high heels into stylin' winter boots. And I also managed to stick with my 'use up scraps' resolution too as the candy cane stripe and aqua grid down at the bottom of the card actually were scraps from the first October Afternoon Christmas line, Good Cheer. All in all this was a happy, happy, joy, joy kind of card to make. :)

I can see why you are happy with this card. Everything seems to be exactly as it should be. Love the papers and colours and how you have put everything together to create another wonderful scene. Happy Birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day! Marianne x

Your card is phenomenal!! I love how you altered her- she looks so chic and I want her boots!! ;). I really don't need any more paper but once you mentioned OA, I'm determined to get it, haha! Amy, you're such a bad influence!! Anyway, I'm a sucker for scenes and your creation is wonderful! Love your coloring especially her hair!!!!

I just knew you would love that paper! I was so hoping my order would arrive before I saw something you had made with it because you always seem to use things in the PERFECT way and then I can't think of anything else but your wonderful card when I see it!! :-)Traci
